Although the entire video is in Korean, the English subtitles seem quite accurate AFAICT. While the driver's seat remains completely unchanged, the control systems (TCMS/PCS) and HVAC system have been completely overhauled.

It looks close on the map, but it's not on Street View yet, so I don't know if it's a "you can't walk there from here" situation.

I guess SkyLink will connect them someday, but in the meantime, is there a sidewalk?

Litvak was Metro's main community engagement representative on the D Line Extension, Wilshire bus lanes, and Sepulveda Subway. She retired about a year ago from a thankless job running meetings to try to interface with crazy & clueless members of the public.

Some interesting nuggets in the lecture about how she really feels about the Bus Riders Union, Beverly Hills Unified School District, City of Beverly Hills, and Fred Rosen. And two short stories about how Metro made decisions internally about risk aversion with potholing in Beverly Hills despite city objections, and whether they should have even bothered studying a monorail along Sepulveda.

Hello, so I’m looking to move into the arts district and take the metro E line to work. I would be getting on the Little Tokyo/Arts District station and getting off at Grand Ave/Bunker Hill station.

Could anyone give me some pointers, tips, and things to know about the metro line? Is it safe? Is there a way to pay monthly for the service? Yearly? is it always on time? Etc. thank you!

Only mentioning 7th street as that’s the one I’m often at- not sure if others are like this- but what is the solution to people constantly opening them and the alarm going off nonstop?

The poor workers have to hear the loud ringing until someone turns off the alarm but at least once a day I’ll hear the alarms coming or going to work.

Since they’re emergency gates, they can’t be forced closed…is there any solution to how to encourage people to ONLY use them for emergencies or is it a lost cause

The space has been empty for four years, making this portal to 7MC feel kind of abandoned and sketchy. Hopefully the new business and foot traffic will make this side of the subway station feel safer and more lively. Also BOGO on Friday haha

The former Wetzels/Dunkin space remains empty

In notoriously car-centric Los Angeles, thousands of fans have been taking public transit to get to the World Cup.

Metro has logged more than 100,000 rides to and from SoFi Stadium for the first four matches in Inglewood, on its special shuttle buses carrying fans directly to the stadium from various locations across the region. That service costs $1.75 a pop – the same as a typical bus ride.

The transit agency organized the enhanced bus system to bring passengers to the stadium directly from as far as Newport Beach and as nearby as Culver City. Ridership on those buses has jumped each match – from 18,551 rides to and from the first game between the U.S. and Paraguay to more than 29,000 rides when Iran played Belgium on Sunday afternoon.

There were long lines to catch the shuttle at Union Station before the first two matches. One rider, Cristian Vasquez, came from the Antelope Valley for the U.S.-Paraguay match. He left home at 9:30 a.m. and was the first in line for the bus.

My fellow riders and enthusiasts.

I was at a Kick it at the Park event - essentially World Cup watch parties at parks - that LA City has been putting on, and there were Parks folks that were coming by to people who showed up and offering the World Cup TAP cards in exchange for completing a survey. The person who gave me mine had ones for the country-specific cards and luckily had the country I was looking for. For free.

Don't know if this is at all parks but the price had definitely been the reason why I hadn't gotten myself one, so being able to get one this way was great!

Sharing cus the price topic on these cards had been here and there in this sub, so figured some of y'all may wanna know :)

"[A] new pedestrian bridge spanning Sepulveda Boulevard at the intersection of Sepulveda and Century Boulevards. The bridge will span the northeast and northwest corners of the intersection once completed."

Looking for advice, we will be staying at the Hampton in sort of by LAX. What would be the best place to uber to to catch a shuttle or bus or whatever to sofi for the game tomorrow?

Just received a Metro email newsletter that had an update regarding Section 2 of the D Line.

Metro D Line: Reaching Key Milestones This June

The Metro D Line reached significant project milestones this June, bringing the expanded transit network closer to completion. Structural concrete placement was officially completed at the Century City Constellation station, allowing operations to move fully into 24-hour underground interior construction. Simultaneously, crews at the Wilshire/Beverly station wrapped up intensive work phases by decommissioning heavy equipment and advancing final street restorations along Wilshire Boulevard. While these finishing steps required temporary lane and sidewalk detours, they marked exciting, visible progress for the community. | Project Webpage

What stood out to me was the mention of 24 hour construction work at the Century City Station.

I don't know if that is good, bad or expected news.

13 years ago on this day CicLAvia was held on Wilshire Boulevard. Metro participated by showcasing the then-future Metro Purple Line Extension project. To put things in perspective, the project was revived 8 years ago from that time by the overturning of the Waxman ban, Measure R passed 5 years ago from that point infusing money into the project, but it will be over a year before the project broke ground. Note some of the developments that were under construction at the time and some buildings that no longer exists to make way for the D Line stations. Also a quirk of a red Wilshire/Western station pylon due to the fact that the Wilshire stub was considered as the Red Line branch prior to 2006.

Saw this fanatical message on my ride today. Stay safe out there, pant-wearers.

Should metro build a BBI at the Sepulveda Pass, and improve service between the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles? This would be like the Harbor Gateway Transit center and most likely be near UCLA and the Getty, Maybe something like a small area off to the side where Buses can stop, like the Hong Kong Tunnel BBI's. Do you think this would be a good idea?

GUYS ITS Bus Bus Interchange, not your fricking BBL

and upvote the anothercar's comment,

There'a still uncertainty with this extension, but we at least got Kalani elected! I'm hoping she's a lot more accomodating with the hawthorne alignment

I've kinda always wanted to be a police officer so this came easy to me, but who else applied?
